Sorry we are currently out of stock of our organic acerola cherry powder. We are actively striving to source more and will provide an update as soon as we have one. In the meantime, we can recommend our organic whole food multi, available in powder and vegetable capsule forms - this blend is naturally abundant in vitamin C. - Ben Kim

While many vitamin C products on the market contain synthetic forms of vitamin C like ascorbic acid, this product contains the full vitamin C complex that naturally occurs in organic acerola cherries, one of nature's best sources of truly natural vitamin C.

Natural vitamin C is helpful for:

  • Preventing hair loss

  • Promoting healthy teeth and gums

  • Protecting your skin and organs against premature aging

  • Promoting a strong immune system and preventing frequent colds and infections

  • Easing unexplained pain and swelling of your joints

  • Preventing easy bleeding or bruising

Most conventional vitamin C supplements in pharmacies and grocery stores contain only a portion of the full vitamin C complex, typically just ascorbic acid or ascorbate, which represents the outer ring that surrounds the full vitamin C complex.  

The full vitamin C complex is composed of several different factors that work together to keep teeth and gums healthy, support hair health, facilitate tissue healing, and help prevent premature aging.  These factors include rutin, bioflavonoids, ascorbinogen, tyrosinase, and various co-factors.

Whole foods like acerola cherries and amla berries come with the entire vitamin C complex which can efficiently reach and nourish all of the cells of your body.

Since 2003, I have been using and recommending our organic green food blend, which contains a small amount of natural vitamin C.  At the request of many of our newsletter subscribers who have a special need for larger amounts of natural vitamin C, we added this stand-alone organic acerola cherry powder to our catalogue, and to optimally preserve nutrient integrity, it comes in an amber-colored glass jar with a metal lid.  

For more than a decade now, I have been recommending intake of organic acerola cherry powder for a variety of health challenges.  In particular, I have found organic acerola cherry powder to be measurably helpful for people who experience frequent infections, slow wound healing, weak teeth and gums, unexplained joint pain, and chronic fatigue.

Suggested Serving Size:  1 scoop (included), equal to about 1.5 teaspoons or 5.7 grams, providing approximately 256 mg of vitamin C from organic acerola cherries.

How do you take acerola cherry powder?

Mixed with water, a fresh vegetable juice, fruit smoothie, nut milk, or with a quality organic green food powder.

It's worth noting that you can take more than the recommended serving size of 1.5 teaspoons if you feel you need more natural vitamin C for a health concern - being organic food and free of synthetic nutrients, there is no potential to experience toxicity. 

Organic acerola cherry powder is naturally buffered, meaning that it is not highly acidic, making it fine for people who find that regular synthetic vitamin C supplements are uncomfortably acidic.

Quotes From People Who Use Our Acerola Cherry Product:

I also have tried this product and found it very effective and easy to digest. It was interesting to notice people my age (over 50) complaining about this and that ailment and realizing that I did not have the same complaints. I felt good and happy with loads of energy. Between taking the acerola cherry powder and 100% whole food tablets, I feel very good.

J. Richer, Toronto, ON

I use the acerola cherry powder in smoothies and I love it. I haven't had a cold or sniffles since I started using the vitamin C powder. This is the only thing I'm doing differently, so I have to conclude that the powder is working.

Kim Roush, Antioch, TN

-

When I take this product, I remain free of current cold or flu outbreaks in my area.

J.M., Colorado

-

This is a great product and I wouldn't want to be without it. Tastes pretty good also.

Jeannie Horn, Panama City Beach, FL

-

Acerola cherry powder is a wonderful product and I feel it helps offset the things I do to my body that I shouldn't. I also make an incredible "detox" full body and facial scrub using a couple tablespoons each of Vitamin C power, Super Green Food powder and approx 1/2 cup of granulated Sea Salt mixed with a small amount of water. Makes my skin feel great and incredibly seems to take all body odor away for a couple days! I do this atleast once a week.

N.Nelson, Glendale, AZ

-

"...easy to mix and has a very pleasant taste."

K. Mitchell, Nutley, NJ

-

I mix a spoonful in water along with the green food powder. It is always settling to my stomach and I really believe it helps me stay healthy!

M. Robb, Chandler, AZ

-

On my second jar.....appears to be working well.

J. Miller, Lancaster, PA

-

I like it very much. Felt it reduced subdermal bleeding and capillary fragility I experience.

Leahanne Lammers, Goldendale, WA

-

Great taste, non acidity.

Candy Alves, Little Compton, RI

I'd taken other forms of vitamin C for a long time in large quantities and noticed no difference. Within a short time of using Dr. Kim's organic acerola cherry powder the veins on the side of my feet disappeared. The texture of my skin has improved as well and I have not gotten sick since taking it. Wonderful.
Norm on 10/02/2020 07:52pm
I was looking for organic acerola cherry powder without any fillers such as maltodextrin and this is it! Thank you!
Sue on 04/15/2020 02:08pm
I read that my body needs supplemental vitamin C all day, since it doesn't store. I started adding acerola cherry vitamin C powder to every glass of water that I drink, along with some stevia and a few drops of lemon and lime essential oils. I really enjoy the water, and since I started, I've noticed that my constant colds are reduced or gone, and my knee injury stopped hurting.
PAMELA NORDSETH on 04/09/2020 11:46am
I really like and am very thankful for this Vitamin C Organic Powder. Would you be able to make a Vitamin C powder please that has 1,000 or 2,000 mg of Vitamin C powder per serving? It is so needed!! Thank you so much!! ****Response from drbenkim.com: This product contains the full vitamin C complex that naturally occurs in organic acerola cherries, one of nature's best sources of truly natural vitamin C while most conventional Vitamin C products on the market contain synthetic forms of vitamin C like ascorbic acid. When studies discuss the benefits of vitamin C, they are almost always referring to ascorbic acid or a salt of ascorbate.  If you are looking to megadose on vitamin C (1000 mg or more of ascorbic acid), Dr. Kim has suggested that one serving of organic acerola cherry powder (256 mg of naturally occurring full vitamin C complex) will provide just as much or more benefit.  When there is a special need for extra doses of vitamin C, clients sometimes take up to 3 servings of organic acerola cherry powder daily.*****

I have been using this Vitamin C powder for a few years now and feel great. I get sick rarely and my skin is bright. My only frustration is the bottle opening with the scooper. it is hard to access the powder.
Moorea on 03/01/2017 09:49pm
Not only do I enjoy knowing this is good for me, but when mixed with cold water, it's a deliciously tart, refreshing drink.
Jay Kay on 11/10/2016 06:52am
Great product and so much better than the fake Vitamin C on the market. I'm getting some for all of our family!
Victoria Ann on 08/27/2016 01:57pm
I have been using Dr. Ben Kim's Organic Acerola Cherry Vitamin C for several years now. I mix it with his Organic Greens powder in a tall glass of water every morning. I have been doing this for 3.5 years without missing one single day. I am a nanny, and have worked with a LOT of sick children over the years, and not once have I ever gotten sick or missed a day of work. I am 52 years old, and recently my doctor told me (after a full lipid/metabolic panel) I am healthier than most 30 year olds. I definitely attribute my excellent health to Dr. Ben's Organic Greens & Acerola Vitamin C, along with eating a clean, nutritious whole foods diet. Dr. Kim also has amazing recipes and other resources to aid in optimum nutrition. I especially love the fact that he attended school in Chicago, which is where I reside. He has earned my full trust and respect over the years.
Kristy on 07/11/2016 06:55am
I love this cherry powder. It has a great slightly tart taste and lasts a long time. You can't beat the ingredients. Perfect for beginning signs of colds, or if you have reoccurring UTIs.
elizabeth on 06/16/2016 01:03pm
This is by far the best Vitamin C I have found. I use to scoops in a 22 oz jar of water every morning and have not been the slightest bit sick since. My skin is blemish free, more evenly toned and supple.
LYNDA MULLINGS on 06/04/2016 11:03pm
I am 95% better because of this vit c. We never get sick! Love it!!
Laurie on 05/31/2016 08:55am
I just want to expand upon an earlier review. As I had said, I use about half a scoop of this in every glass of water I drink throughout the day (and sometimes a full scoop), b/c I require the extra nutrition. The very awesome "side benefit" to me taking all the extra vitamin C I felt I could use is this: my neck had been in pain for about 10 years. I've had 3 MRIs, facet joint injections in my c-spine and botox shots for pain (neither injections helped), been to physio and sometimes wore a cervical collar b/c I couldn't hold my neck up when walking and it would droop down toward my chest, which made my trapezius muscles extremely sore and inflamed at the back of my neck from constantly trying to bring my neck back up into position. Since taking all this vitamin C, my neck feels so much better! I am even looking for a job, b/c I don't feel "disabled" anymore! I doubt I'd have this result, though, from any of the other "fake", synthetic vitamin Cs out there. And so, what I know for sure now is that good and real vitamin C has the power to heal so much more than just colds and the flu. It's almost a miracle for me, after trying everything else. Who knew? But, the most important part is that I don't even require the strong opioids I've been prescribed for years, either. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for making this stuff, and thank the Lord for perhaps leading me to try it. I was *this close* to having surgery, which I certainly didn't want, but was getting to the point of trying anything. Phew, that was close! But, it seems all I needed was a daily, steady dose of good C and my body healed itself, which it has the power to do if it receives what it needs. I am so grateful.
Wayne on 05/30/2016 07:22pm
Love this Vit C! It's my absolute favorite. Awesome quality. Taking it daily, since about 5 years ago.
Kathryn Kennedy on 05/25/2016 05:04pm
We add this to the Greens Formula and Whole Food Multi in juice. Besides it obviously being good for us it adds a tangy flavor that my kids and I love and make our green juice more enjoyable.
Lisa on 05/12/2016 09:39am
This is my go-to Vit C. I take it every day mixed into warm water with lemon or in a smoothie. Love this stuff!
Judy Jones on 05/05/2016 06:51pm
I love this product, as it comes from a natural food source. It is difficult to find any other vitamin C that is not synthetic. I am grateful to have found this one!
Sue Plezia on 05/05/2016 01:51pm
My favorite Dr. Kim product. I mix it into my morning smoothie, with a little stevia.
Laurie on 05/05/2016 12:54pm
I put about a half scoop in each glass of water I sip throughout the day, b/c I require this extra nutrition. It mixes up nicely, dissolves completely in no time, turns the water a pinky colour, and doesn't bother my stomach at all. This, in turn, helps me to drink more, b/c I know there's vitamin C in the glass. I swear my body feels better from this!
Brenda on 07/26/2015 02:47pm
I have been using Dr. Ben Kim's Vitamin C powder for many years now and I can't say enough about it. There was a time I would catch a cold during my menstrual cycle every month. I have a compromised immune system and I become run down very easily. I would also become ill if I was travelling (as soon as I would relax - BOOM - I would get sick). I take 3 tsps. daily in my morning breakfast smoothie and I hardly ever catch any colds or flus now. My Mom noticed when I would visit that I wasn't sick on the couch for a week of my stay - hurrah! Honestly this organic acerola cherry powder is a miracle in my life! I would do commercials for it, I believe in this product that much.
Cindy S. on 07/13/2015 10:18pm
I have been using Dr. Ben Kim's vitamin C for going on 6 years now. I remember because I asked him for some advice in 2009. I would bruise really easily and my gums would bleed even with the softest bristles. These problems disappeared within 6 months of taking this, I haven't stopped taking it, and I am completely free of both issues.

I love that the newest version is 100% organic acerola cherry powder without any trace amounts of maltodextrin. It feels so pure and is a breeze to digest.
Barbara on 06/19/2015 05:23am
Only been using 2 months but loving it. Cold free, bruising reduced too. I mix it with supergreen powder and real pomegranate juice and beetroot juice in Ben Kim's mixer bottle and keep in the fridge. That way I have a ready supply everyday- it's usually my breakfast. I was u fortunate to get a tummy bug recently but I was still able to sip this formula throughout the day even though I couldn't keep any food down. After 24hrs I was fully recovered and didn't have that awful lightheaded feeling the next day.i was back to normal.
Ben Kim on 05/25/2015 05:32pm
Hello Sylvia,

1.5 teaspoons refers to a regular kitchen teaspoon. It is just a suggested amount. Where more intense support is needed, one can increase this by any amount that makes a positive difference for you. I regularly find that people who are recovering from surgery do well taking 3 to 5 teaspoons daily, spread throughout the day. I hope this helps. - Ben Kim
Sylvia S. on 03/25/2015 06:23pm
I love it that I can just mix this powder in water. That means no unnecessary extra calories or sugars. I am wondering, though, about when the directions say 1.5 teaspoons, does that mean like a medicine teaspoon or any type of kitchen baking teaspoons?
I would like to know if I am getting the correct amount.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Betty on 12/28/2014 10:44am
The product is good but to me suspiciously sweet and I am concern about maltodextrin. It is made out of corn but there is no indication that this is nonGMO product so this means that it is GMO corn and maltodextrin is just artificial sugar so how much is added?

Betty: We never had more than a trace amount of maltodextrin in our acerola cherry powder, but as of May 25, 2015, this formula is 100% organic acerola cherries with no added maltodextrin. We hope you enjoy our newest version. - Ben Kim

Been using this for 8 days now with Super green and Norwegian cod liver oil. My skin looks better and I have more energy. Plus I feel Healthier, will buy again.
Dr. Ben Kim on 03/30/2011 10:06am
Bev, we don't add dissolving agents to keep this product 100% whole food. I suggest using a blender or a bottle with a cap and mixing vigorously.
bev lane on 03/29/2011 11:21pm
I AM ON MY 1ST BOTTLE AND FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MIX IT THOROUGHLY.
belle on 01/11/2011 09:08am
this is a great product, but it would be really helpful if it came in a wide mouth jar. It's difficult to access the powder when it's less than half full.
TeenaMarie on 03/06/2010 05:42pm
I added this to my smoothies or into fresh squeezed orange juice or water every day. (one bottle competed)

I was surrounded by sick people all winter at my job. I did not get sick once!

I will add, I also eat an organic diet, mostly meat and dairy free, SUGAR free, nutritionally balanced. I believe a combination of everything we consume is what determines our over all health. (I'm not a perfect eater, but I try) lol :)

Thank you Dr. Ben Kim!
Irina on 11/15/2009 06:52pm
This is a wonderful product! The taste is great. I mix it in filtered water and don't add anything else.

A few fun facts: Ascorbate is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. However, unlike most organisms, humans do not make it internally.

It is an anti-oxidant, since it protects the body against oxidative stress.

Vitamin C is essential for the building of collagen. No heart or blood vessel or other organ could possibly perform its functions without collagen. No heart or blood vessel can be maintained in healthy condition without vitamin C.
